Identification
On Page 1603: Mysidacea in the key, the section begins where mysids can be identified to the genus level. From there identification must be continued by comparing species diagnoses.

Species
See the page for Order Mysidacea (and following pages) in the Higher taxa module. A species list can also be found on that page.

For the species (and one subspecies), see Chalaraspidum alatum to Mysidetes crassa in the Species module (98 pages).
